South Gray Street

Somner Macdonald Architects

This was a comprehensive project to remodel and refurbish a big villa in Newington. The house is Georgian, with a large Victorian side extension and a range of ramshackle extensions to the rear. The clients wanted to create a home for their young family - lots of big & light living spaces, with a strong connection with the back garden. The rear extensions were demolished and the remaining house remodelled and opened up. This gave the house a more natural layout, with views through from the front and with natural light penetrating deep into the footprint.
